Palace. In the Jing'an Palace, two one-person-high gilded cranes are placed on the left and right sides of the main entrance, and the white-on-blue glazed vase with a white background and the size of a person's hug is empty, placed on the east side of the crane on the left, and on the side of the other crane, there is a sandalwood coffee table, and a few simple tea bowls are placed casually.

Concubine Wen was drinking a bowl of sour plum soup. Lin Junsheng stood quietly under the tree, looking down at the shoes on his feet.

"Your Highness the Tenth, this is really strange, the emperor actually notified all the princes, grandsons and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to participate in this year's hunting activities." Concubine Wen asked tentatively, "When did this emperor like hunting so much?" ”

The tenth prince took a spoon and put the soup in his mouth: "Father has to kill the killer this time." King Ann will surely die. ”

"Then it seems that this palace will have one less enemy." Concubine Wen was overjoyed, "Next, let's take a good look at Lin Zhongchao and Lin Feng killing each other!" ”

The tenth prince said: "Niangniang should be careful, after all, the emperor asked Niangniang to arrange this hunting activity, if King An has any mistakes in the hunting meeting, out of fear of King An's army, if the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are held accountable, I am afraid that the emperor will let Niangniang carry the black pot." ”

Emperor Qingfeng said that he would turn his face. Maybe in order to protect himself, Emperor Qingfeng will kill Concubine Wen and calm the anger. Concubine Wen said vigilantly: "The emperor has always been so ruthless. At that time, if there is an accident in this palace, please continue to keep your promise to help my Wen family rise and help my younger brother Wen Ci who is not successful. ”

Lin Junsheng sighed, his eyes became cold, "Niangniang, I'm not my father, I can't speak." ”

Concubine Wen nodded.

At this time, Concubine Xiao Guifei's side was also not calm.

I saw Xiao Guifei shaking the fan and saying, "The emperor is going to toss again." King An was either killed or injured this time. Lin Zhongchao will lose the powerful An Wang Army. Therefore, the palace has made a good choice, and the palace has chosen to press on Lin Junsheng. ”

Lin Lao said: "However, Lin Junsheng has not promised me yet, he will hand over Zhou Yunluo to me after winning, Lin Zhongchao's side, Zhou Zhengzheng has already agreed on his behalf." ”

Xiao Guifei glanced at Lin Lao and said, "It turns out that you suddenly proposed to cooperate with Lin Zhongchao, or for that cheap woman!" ”

Lin Lao said: "It's all said, mother don't scold Sister Yunluo." Since her mother relies so much on scolding to relieve her anger, the emperor has to choose Lin Zhongchao, lest her mother embarrass Sister Yunluo at that time. ”

Concubine Xiao was dumbfounded and hurriedly apologized, but Lin Liao didn't believe her anymore.

Xiao Guifei and Lin Lao finally reached an agreement: to help Lin Zhongchao.

At this time, in the Qi Palace, Lin Feng also received the news of tomorrow's hunting.

"Zhou Yi, are you ready?" Lin Feng said, "The guards of the Qi Palace's palace are all at your disposal, if you can't let the emperor crown this king as the crown prince, this king really has to consider whether to use you anymore." ”

Zhou Yi replied confidently: "King Qi, rest assured, this time it will definitely not be disappointed again." ”

Lin Feng said with a smile: "After the matter is completed, Zhou Yi will be the crown princess." ”

In the mansion of Wu Guogong, a circle of green surrounds the rockery, making the rockery even more abrupt. The yellow, dry and rough surface looks like a knife has been cut. The twisted and porous shape is also peculiar and indescribable. However, the water under the rockery is still soft and gentle, encompassing everything in the rockery.

Zhou Zheng saluted Zhou Jinxuan.

Zhou Jinxuan said worriedly: "Ah Zheng, the emperor stipulates that all the beauties who study in Tai Academy will also go to watch the royal hunt tomorrow." But my father wants you not to go! The sword has no eyes, and it is not a safe place. ”

Zhou Zheng put the teacup on the table, and his slender fingers slid over the rim of the cup, "Father, even if my daughter doesn't go, it's dangerous to stay in Tai Academy." It's easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against dark arrows, so it's better to go to the hunting ground and have a father to protect his daughter! ”

Zhou Jinxuan's eyebrows furrowed: "It's okay, Ah Zheng, since you insist on becoming a royal daughter-in-law, sooner or later you will have to face these dangers, it's good that you can face them as soon as possible." ”

The next day, the weather was fine.

Zhou Zheng sat in the carriage and followed Zhou Jinxuan to Dongshan.

Emperor Qingfeng hunts in Dongshan every year, but he usually plays with a few princes and ministers, and only this year is such a big scene.

Soon, Higashiyama arrived.

The dense foliage makes the woods look a little dark, and the damp ground is occasionally filled with mushrooms. Near the roots of the tree, it is even more green and black, and the thick moss looks very slippery. In mid-air, unknown vines are intertwined, thick or thin, like a large net, covering the entire forest.

Zhou Zheng was helped out by Narcissus and Qingyun, and the eunuch came over and led her to the women's area. There, the princesses, princesses and noblewomen all sat in this area.

Zhao Xinyi, Du Lingling, Shi Wan'er, Miao Ruolan, and Zhou Yi were already sitting.

When Princess Jing'an saw Zhou Zheng, she shouted happily and waved her hand, and Zhou Zhengzheng sat next to Princess Jing'an.

The hunt began.

Hearing the signal, the eunuchs in front quickly released the hounds.

Suddenly, more than a dozen hounds rushed into the grass in the distance like lightning, and let out one bark after another, and the horses of the startled princes also neighed and raised their heads and howled.

Suddenly, the quiet hunting grounds were as lively as boiling kettles, and all kinds of sounds were mixed and noisy.

The princes and grandsons all abandoned their attention, and suddenly, a mile away, a gray-haired hare could not stand the fright, and got out of the hiding place, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, and a cold arrow flew straight over, hitting the hare's neck, and the hare fell to the ground in response.

The nearest hound also came quickly, standing next to the hare and barking, which was to signal the owner.

After a while, Emperor Qingfeng and King An walked over side by side.

The princes and grandsons immediately stopped hunting, went up to salute, and showed what they had just hunted one by one.

King An said: "The Great Ming Dynasty can have so many vigorous successors, the emperor is really a blessed person!" ”

Emperor Qingfeng said with a smile: "It's just that, the country still has to rely on a talent like King An." ”

The two were modest, and then Emperor Qingfeng proposed that he would personally hunt with King An.

Then the eunuch took out the two horses.

One is as white as snow, and the other is as black as ink. Both are in good health and in great shape.

Emperor Qingfeng said: "These two are my private collection of good horses, and after I rode them on my own expedition ten years ago, I will never let them go to battle again." Today, this steed will be ridden with King Ann. Is King An willing to appreciate his face? ”

King An nodded, "Good horse, the old man likes it the most!" ”

Emperor Qingfeng then glanced at everyone and said, "For the sake of safety, there must be two people to test drive first." Who wants to? ”

The crowd was silent.
